Oooh, all covers are beautiful

Like BABY KARA said before their japanese mission, "first impressions are very important"... I liked her the most when her teaser was released, she has something that makes her stand out. Visually, she fits KARA; shes very talented but you can tell she can be even better, and I think her personality is adorable. Also, she is going to face many chalenges now, it makes me want to support her!

So happy that Youngji has her own space here! I'm glad to be part of Karaholic, I still think Kamilia is a kind and loving fandom

Oh my, Seungyeon's ethereal beauty

I can imagine her fangirling, a succesful fan indeed!

So pretty I'm gonna cry

Can´t waait

To be honest, I was kinda angry at Jing when she left KARA and went to England, because I wanted her to make herself a career in Japan. But now I'm hopping she signed with Sweet Power! Or any agency, but SP will get her dramas with Johnny's talents, hehehe. Ahh I'm so happy for Jiyoung. I doubt their promotions overlap because actress only promote their dramas in special episodes of TV shows, but who knows, they can meet in Japan after their schedules. Also, japanese TV shows don't make ex-members meet actual members of groups on screen, or at least I've never seen it.

I hope KARA promote their new song in South Korea, more heavily in Japan, and then go onto promotions overseas, I'd love to see the girls with celebrities from Taiwan and China <3

Oh, Sweetune Well, Sweetune has been on the down low, and Double Sidekick were judges on KARA PROJECT, so it's no really new information, but still... I hope the comeback song delivers!

There are new pre-debut photos going around -- (credit: http://ameblo.jp/with-kakegawa/entry-11888983169.html) -- (credit: https://twitter.com/chickenjo1123) -- (credit: https://twitter.com/YLVR)

KARA is the prettiest girlgroup ever, forever

I read somewhere, in the mass of reports, that KARA was going for a music change this time. Since Sweetune has somehow ... declined in the quality and number of their releases so far... do you guys think Sweetune is 'saving' the good work for KARA (I hope)? Or KARA is changing producers?

Well, korean kamilia acted... in a dissapointing way, when the KARA Project was announced, DSP wasn't going to push it into them. Also, when it comes to KARA (and strategy and planning), Universal Japan > DSP, so... And Gyul, Seungyeon and Hara's contracts time is running out, I'm glad the project was just a month to keep KARA going for the rest of the year! (BTW, 'Kara new member' is still trending on Naver, and it was reported in Japan's morning news/newspapers/online reports, so while the show might have had less attention at first, Youngji being the winner --and a charming beauty-- got quite a lot of expossure)

I'm so happy to woke up to this news! (I voted at 5am but I was half-sleeping, heheh). I thought there were going to be two members but Im glad that thinkgs worked out this way. I can't wait to see Youngji in japanese shows ;__;

YESSS YOUNGJI!! Welcome to KARA!!

I almost screamed when I saw the NEWSEN link with both Gyuri and Thunder photos, lol. I love MBLAQ and Thunder is my favorite member, I'm so happy! I wonder how they'll look on screen, ah, those flawless beings ♥ Thank you so much for translating the article!

Poor Seungyeon :( I hope she gets to rest a lot! I feel so greedy, I was just wishing for KARA to comeback, I thought they had a relaxed schedule now...

At first I thought it was only Nicole doing solo work, but now I'm so excited about this!!!! I CAN'T WAIT. I wonder if they'll promote this on shows, or just do MVs and sang them on the concert. There's a list of every solo song's producers, but I don't know if it's true: I wish Gyuri would do an epic ballad, Hara a dance track (some electropop maybe? if the list is true, she's the only one working with SWEETUNE), Nicole would probably do something hyper and fun, and Jiyoung something cute... And Hammie, oh, how I wish she would so a hiphop fierce concept!! But it's probably gonna be a sweet pop tune...

I totally love the ones they used for Inkigayo (the white&black ones and the deep red ones). I also love the baby blue ones from the first comeback stage

Wow, amazing! Download charts can really show groups' popularity in Japan, especially since CD's sales keep falling down (only groups with big fanbases can do really well in the Oricon nowadays, and since KARA has good physical sales too, I'd say they're totally loved in Japan ♥)

I can't tell Jiyoung's and Hara's voices in most of their songs. Sometimes I have a little bit of trouble with Seungyeon's, too... But I can always tell Nicole's and Gyuri's voices apart, because they stand out the most (at least to me)

I started liking them with Honey, but I became a fan with Lupin so... yeah, I'm a new fan. KARA4 was cool too, I love their first album too.

I woke up to this, it's the best day ever!! I love the MV, it's playful, cute, sexy, fierce, fun, everything at once! The girls really step up their game! But what I love the most is that you can still say the same girls who were painting walls in ROCK U (the shoes~), dancing in Wanna and being fierce in Lupin/Jumping. It's amazing. I feel so proud ;A;♥ /I already forgot how many times I've hit the replay button, LOL.

DSP has really changed, it's surprising! I'm glad everything ended up being for the best.
